Today I am reflecting on the color of sin. As Good Friday approaches, it's good the think about what Jesus's death accomplished. What stands out to me is that his crimson blood is what purifies us when we repent. How dark, dirty, and stained we must appear to our holy God before we are cleansed in the blood of the Lamb. Have you ever thought about how Jesus's blood makes you whiter than snow? What a precious truth!
The blood of goats and bulls and the ashes of a heifer sprinkled on those who are ceremonially unclean sanctify them so that they are outwardly clean. How much more, then, will the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself unblemished to God, cleanse our consciences from acts that lead to death, so that we may serve the living God!
{hebrews nine: thirteen & fourteen}
